The This week on the anxiety slayer podcast, we're exploring all of the ways we can unknowingly fuel our anxiety, the things that we do that build anxiety beneath our level of awareness.

just means we've slid out of balance and we need to help ourselves get back. I noticed that

shallow breathing is a big one for me.
